These charming earrings feature rustic colored patina copper with an antique pattern supplemented with green turquoise beads
Copper has been used in medicine for thousands of years, apparently since before the beginning of recorded history. The ancients recognized copper as an essential healing mineral. Copper was found useful for its curative powers, largely due to its antibacterial and antifungal properties, in the treatment of wounds and skin diseases. In modern times, copper is becoming more widely recognized for its effectiveness in the treatment of a number of internal diseases including anemia, cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, stroke and heart disease. In addition, current research is confirming the role of normally ingested copper in the prevention and moderation of disease.
Turquoise has been a sacred stone for hundreds of years. Turquoise is a stone of peace, serenity and tranquility. A stone of the heart chakra, turquoise connects the three upper and three lower chakras. Turquoise is a traditional gift stone for friendship and is always more powerful when gifted than when purchased. Turquoise is recommended by crystal healers for detoxification of alcohol or poisons.
